Like a lot of people on here I spend far too much time (mainly on eBay) looking for "interesting" cars for sale. Things like sleepers, resto-mods, turbo'd and supercharged stuff, engine swaps and well modified cars.

Maybe we can all contribute to a thread where we can help people find these needles in haystacks and keep them in one place?

What do you think? Don't think I've seen a thread like this before.....apologies if its been tried and failed prior.

Here are a few I found tonight while the misses was watching the people on Love Island arguing with each other.....cheers, DjSki.

The 240Z I really like.....

1991 VWJetta VR6 Turbo 320bhp £7.5k

If you think that's interesting, check out my Lotus Elise S1 with Audi turbo engine swap ... for £4K less and with £2K worth of Exige S1 alloys fitted to it! smile

Are the indicator stalks for holding onto when you corner really fast?!

Haha! They do look really big! Just some EliseParts aluminium stalks that look a bit better than the OEM plastic Vauxhall ones! A common upgrade!

MVS Venturi, original spec. I like them in this form. Nice, neat style. I think most prefer the later Atlantique.

Seems to be what is asked for them, super cool little things, but a lot of money for what it is.

That datsun is beautiful, shame it's LHD.

Surely those front tyres must catch?

Nicely modded but over priced 350Z, love the colour:

Wow, that's a thing. Aren't they reputedly fairly hairy to drive as standard? with 570hp you're probably spending quite a lot of time going backwards. Still, at least it looks pretty cool as it flies towards you.
